Right on track with what Georgist economists have been expecting all along.
Land prices are at all time highs in valuable downtown city locations driving rents and prices up.
Sound the alarm for another crash in 2026. And remember folks: land value tax would solve this.

Designing streets like the top picture instead of the bottom would solve a lot of our problems.
Dan is cooking! I used to be a goldbug a long time ago before i understood anything about money. At first returning to the gold standard or some other hard commodity backed currency seemed populist until you learn the wealthy elites favored it for speculation reasons

If there is anything worse than neolibertarian dogma, it is neolibertarian dogma backed by cynicism. No government currency is been less stable than Bitcoin, but neolibertarians think that currency is for speculation rather than stable and predictable exchange.

Pro tip:
Land price is “residual. Fees and construction costs go down? Land price go up. Sale price stay the same.
I agree with this along the principles of economist Henry George who believed monopolies had to serve the public benefit.

The war machine doesn't care what marketing suits and faces are put through the humiliation rituals of covering lies with more lies. All is according to plan as long as the blood covered gears keep turning.
Seriously. Progress and Poverty by Henry George should be required reading for all progressives and libertarians
On the one hand, the federal government has no involvement in property tax policy, so this is just virtue signaling to old voters.
On the other hand, @AbdulElSayed should be more informed about the economics of taxation of property (especially land) to not make this argument.

I get sick of the yapping about Karl Marx as if he was the only bearded guy in the 1800s who had an alternative to capitalism. America was almost a Georgist country with its own economic system. Third most famous household name behind Thomas Edison and Mark Twain btw
